An interesting interview with Assou-Ekotto

Some refreshing honesty around players loyalty

I just wonder why some people carry on the way they do. When they make an interview and say I want to be at a club for ever, kissing the badge, blah, blah, blah, and in six months they are not there any more. I wonder why they lied six months before.
'Or when they sign for a club claiming they wanted to play for them all their lives. I see no point in doing that. I come here because it's a cool club - not because I dreamed of one day playing for Tottenham. I never dreamed about any club. I just wanted to be a footballer.'

I guess that's him fucking off soon, then.

quality but i thought he was one that didnt like playing professional football?

[WAR]

there is an interview with him somewhere saying he doesn't really like football, just plays for the money...fair doos for the honesty mind

People will want this linked.

All about the £. Fair enough.

he's an interesting chap is Ekotto. He's always been pretty honest. There was an interview a year back where he admitted that he's only in england because it pays the most.

I've seen that before as well, at least he's honest about it and tells it how it is.
Compare and contrast with another 26 year old who has recently moved

He did an inrterview on this subject over a year ago. Refreshing honesty. Gives 100% while he's paid so no bother...unlike some strikers who coast for a few months yet still take the cash.

I'd rather have someone like him telling it how it is than someone telling bare faced lies at the end of the day. Fair play to him.
